1 , , Uni LITTLE PRINGLSSES bv Jean Samells ' For this book review I have chosen a biography entitled The Little Princess bv the Parion Crawford. The biography book was written bv the governess of the Princesses for seventeen years. Unon her arrival at their residence the two young girls nicked named her fCrawfiel and she retains that name to this dav. A The Princesses have always lived in London. It was first while they were living on Piccadilly Avenue that CCrawfiel came be associated with the present Royal Family. At that time they had no thought, whatever, that they would come to live in Buckingham Palace. One day they met Mrsg Simpson, wife- to-be of the Duke of Windsor, and realize' tif? thelf UBPPY home life at one hundred and fortv-five Piccadilly would be soon at an end. David, Duke of Windsor abdicated and nlbert, Duke of York became King George Tl. After Buckingham with their coronation learned to the Coronation in December of lQ37 they moved to Palace. The Kina and Queen used to play frequently children while living at Piccadilly, but after the this was not as usual nor as fretuent, The children swim and at an early are t'ev toth earned fheir life saving certificates.

The girls also spent considerable time during the war years at Birkhull where they prepared numerous plays, 'Crawfie' helped the two girls to prepare a pantomine, Just before the first performance 'Lilibet' looking rather pink, came to 'Crawfie' and said, nwho do you think is coming to see us act, Crawfie? Philip,N The pantomine went off very well, From then on the two young people began to correspond, even when he was abroad she continued to write, Rumours in the paper started, About then 'Lilibet' was getting her first grown up clothes, Prince Philip and Elizabeth went to social functions, but were seldom seen together, In July IQA7, shortly after t
